Jennifer Ross
The Horse's Way, Original Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
Draped in a colorful blanket, a regal horse strides purposefully against a backdrop of distant mountains. Artist Jennifer Ross created the piece using eggshell fragments, drawing inspiration from the Japanese technique of mending pottery called Kintsugi. She views the process as an artistic meditation, and the title is inspired by Julia Cameron's iconic book, The Artist’s Way.


About the Artist
Artist Jennifer Ross finds inspiration in gathering and replicating fragments of nature. "Birds, nests, eggs, and horses represent my realization that life embodies a tension between wanting security and the love of freedom," says Jennifer. Through her art, she aspires to convey a healing power inspired by the living world. Jennifer initially aspired to follow her mother and grandfather's artistic path but took a detour and began a decade-long career working in art galleries, selling the artwork of others, and doing framing design. Eventually, her creative soul persisted. She began experimenting with small pastel pieces and later found her unique style in incorporating elements, such as broken eggshells, inspired by the Japanese art of mending pottery with gold called Kintsugi. Jennifer transforms her second-largest bedroom into a studio, immersing herself in the sounds of birds or her son's college radio program while working.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, Original Painting
By Darlene McElroy
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Darlene McElroy displays a contemporary portrait of a woman with her hair flowing in the wind. Bold patterns in vibrant colors establish her dynamic silhouette. "The winds of life moved her to new places and new experiences full of secrets," reveals Darlene. The unconventional materials create a sculptural and dimensional aspect.


About the Artist
Darlene McElroy sees creating art as similar to reading Turkish coffee grounds. A story becomes revealed as one looks at the surface, texture and color. Her works use a variety of materials ranging from acrylic paints to photo transfers and collage. She currently lives in New Mexico and has been greatly influenced by the work of Robert Rauschenberg. She encourages viewers to search for their narrative interpretation when viewing a work.

For Fox Sake - Contemporary Animal Sculpture Recycled (Red+Yellow+Purple)
By Yulia Shtern
Located in Gilroy, CA
"For Fox Sake" is a sculpture by the Italy-based Canadian Artist Yulia Shtern. Red Fox is the species of fox with the widest distribution. They inhabit most of the Northern Hemisphere. Their status is listed as "least concern" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature due to their ability to adapt to human expansion. However, having been introduced to Australia with disastrous results, the red fox is on the list of the world's 100 worst invasive species. This piece is made from completely up / recycled materials, lessening the artist's carbon footprint in the art world. From the artist: "One of the biggest, ugliest truths of our time is that we have been knowingly destroying our planet and killing off its natural life in pursuit of the falsehoods promised by mass consumption. Displaying a trophy of a stuffed dead animal...

Midnight - Majestic Sculpture of Mongolian Animal, Altai Argali in Rainbow Color
By Yulia Shtern
Located in Gilroy, CA
"Midnight," is a stunning sculpture by Canadian artist, Yulia Shtern. She as modeled this work after the endangered Mongolian species Altai Argali. The animal is brightly colored, in a rainbow color scheme in this work. She has done a fabulous job of making her subject matter eye catching and dynamic. Shtern styles this series after the tradition of mounting heads by hunters, but instead she gives life to her up-cycled materials and fights against the inhumane act of trophy hanging.
